Althrough no BIOS file is necessary for most of the games, some systems emulated by fbneo do require BIOS files.
If you are using fbalpha2012_neogeo core, you will need to place your bios files also in the \roms\fbneo folder.
The core does not search the \bios folder.
Roms: \roms\fbneo
Bios: \bios or \bios
Samples: \bios\fbneo\samples
Hiscore.dat: \bios\fbneo
Cheats: \bios\fbneo\cheats
Blend files: \saves\fbneo\blend
Mapping can be found in the notice.
For FBNEO and FBALPHA cores, 2 controller layouts are available:
